he arrived at Livingstone Walter Null
Inns. one of McHargue's friends board
ed the train, though his friends pro
tested against it. The train had not
run more. than two miles when,
out On the bridge over Round
Stone creek, Mullins entered the
car and slapping Chumley on the
shoulder told him a man wanted to
see him on the platform Chumley
went out, carrying his Winchester
with him. After reaching the plat
form witnesses say discussion en-
sued and the report of arms aroused
all passengers. Mullins was shot
through the head, and both fell from
| the moving train Of the bridge, dis
lance of about thirty feet. The train
was at once stopped and backed up to
the scene. Both men were found dead
Mullins with his neck broken and
Chumley with his head all torn to
pieces, making it difficult to tell
whether he was shot in the head or
not, but it is supposed he WAS. as his
brains were found upon the car steps.
In the confusion McHargue escaped.
and his whereabouts is still mys-
terry.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. 26.-Cap-
tain Torrey, of tle schooner M. G.
Mosely, of Boston. from GouaiveS,
Hayti, came into Stonington, Conn.,,
Sunday night and landed Seaman Bor-
| den Manchester, of Fall River, Mass,
the sole survivor Of the crew
| of the schooner Mary P. Collins,
ports that while IN latitude 80 degrees,
| 10 minutes, longitude II degrees, 40
minutes, while he was hove to in Sc
we're gale, he saw the schooner above
mentioned hove to, and showing sig
nails of distress. Although the sea
was running mountain high, Captain
Torrey, with great difficulty, launched
! boat and went to the relief Of the
vessel. With the wind blowing a gale
his frail yawl afoat, but he
was making most desperate
effort to succor human life, and with
his gallant crew, nerved themselves
| for the task before them, only thinking
/ of their imperilled brethren. Inch by
| inch they gained ground on the sinking
vessel and would soon have been along
side. but fate decreed otherwise, fol
when almost within reach the Mary G.
Collins lurched to the starboard and
| sank, taking down the captain and five
| afloat on a plank, and was taken aboard
| the Moseby. Manchester said: The Mary
| G.. Collins left Norfolk with cargo of
| $50 tons of coal, bound fol-
| Somerset. On December 18th she left
Hampton Roads and experienced ordi-
nary weather until one week ago Sun
day, when gale set in that amounted
to hurricane. The vessel became al.
most unmanageable. Soon the
schooner began to leak badly and the
men were constantly at the pumps un'
/ til nearly exhausted. The water con
stantly gained upon them, despite
/ their efforts and the result above
stated was inevitable.
